Terraria Otherworld (more Terraria 1.5 than a sequel) was originally supposed to be out for Christmas 2015, but they missed that and have been completely silent through 2016. And Otherworld will be wrapped I think before we have any concrete progress shown on Terraria 2.

How can a company not patent a mathematical formula but they can patent the application of a mathematical formula? That doesn't make sense. Either a math formula is completely patent free or the Supreme Court ruling is meaningless.

Because patents are ALL ABOUT APPLICATION of an idea, not the idea itself.

You can SAY you're going to invent or create X to accomplish Y, but until you have the specific action or means by which to do it you aren't getting a patent for it.

The problem with patents concerning software is software is so fucking complex and patent offices so not brimming with elite coders that the scope of what is patentable and what isn't is now nebulous at best.

Only thing I don't like about G502 is the scroll wheel, which has a mechanical toggle between "infinity scroll" mode (which I haven't the slightest idea of a use for) and a rather junky-feeling traditional scroll.

None of the new gaming mice have the 3 buttons on top, and I use those A LOT in games.

The 502 has two buttons just off the LMB and a button behind the scroll...

citizen eco-drive watches for almost half off. virtually all watches 30% off. i scrolled through i think 75 pages worth

Friend wanted a Skagen watch, but even at 30% extra off they were significantly more expensive on Amazon than Jomashop, a random webpage I've never heard of that pops up after googling "Skagen watches". Ordered a watch from there, instead.

That's cool, the two-week-old $120 TP Link router I was using as a wifi bridge for somebody's computer is fucking dead and totally unresponsive, powering up but not doing anything and it won't even let me access the config.

Boy, if I could find just one networking hardware manufacturer that put out even a single piece of hardware that didn't break on a whim...

System Shock 2 was fun, but it never matched the thrill and the sheer sense of foreboding that the first one did, and its levels were no match for the awe of the first ones either.

This is complete bollocks, from somebody who played SS2 at release and only later played SS1. SS1 has plenty of boxy and unnatural level architecture in it owing in part to the engine limitations. SS2 is far better at passing off the spaceship vibe.

The reasons for regional pricing are obvious, it's simply cheaper to operate and deliver content in certain countries.

Ummm no, that is not why games are priced regionally. They are priced regionally because consumers in certain markets CAN NOT AFFORD to pay what first-world Westerners pay. Publishers can lower prices in those reasons to make some kind of money, or set one price globally and not make any money at all in poorer markets. Problem is the internet is by it's nature globalized and without borders, so of course people are going to work around regional pricing.
